what is the mass of the most common form of hydrogen (hint: its average * 3 points atomic mass is 1.001 amu)?
0 amu
1 amu
2 amu
3 amu
4 amu
The most common form of hydrogen is protium which has 1 proton and no neutrons in its nucleus. Its atomic mass is very close to 1 AMU. Although the average atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.001 AMU due to the presence of small amounts of deuterium and tritium isotopes, the mass of the most common single - atom form is 1 AMU.
